We come out 22nd on the list.

Who makes up these scores anyway? What makes the difference between a 7.8 and a 7.9? I can't tell.
People on skis hurtling down some mountainside while some Swiss clock records their times in thousandths of seconds and people on the sidelines are ringing cowbells and making funny hooting noises. It seems like they've been doing the same thing since 1972. Now they've introduced snow-boarding and "toboggans".
And what is that sport where they push that really heavy donut-shaped stone down a sheet of ice while two people with brooms sweep a path for it?
It's all a dreadful bore.
Yesterday I saw both a South Korean and a Ukrainian win medals under the Russian flag.
There’s too much Olympic carpetbagging going on to care about medal counts:
